"Go on to the Emerald City, and when you reach it have the Shaggy Man take you to see Dorothy.

Tell her your story and I'm sure she will help you.

Dorothy is Ozma's best friend, and if you can win her to your side your uncle is pretty safe to live again." Then he turned to the Woozy and said: "I'm afraid you are not important enough to be introduced to the Sawhorse, after all." "I'm a better beast than he is," retorted the Woozy, indignantly.

"My eyes can flash fire, and his can't." "Is this true ?" inquired the Scarecrow, turning to the Munchkin boy.
"Yes," said Ojo, and told how the Woozy had set fire to the fence.
"Have you any other accomplishments ?" asked the Scarecrow.
"I have a most terrible growl--that is, sometimes," said the Woozy, as Scraps laughed merrily and the Shaggy Man smiled.

But the Patchwork Girl's laugh made the Scarecrow forget all about the Woozy.
